The museum hosts a programme of events for children of all ages, as well as having a dedicated children’s area. The children’s area was recently revamped thanks to funding from Museums Development South East. Come along and dress up, hold a puppet show or just relax and look at our books on a beanbag.
Pick up one of our museum trails or one of our explorer backpacks while you’re here.
